2/12/18

Attendees:
Jen Means, Lance Means, Cindi Carell, Aaron Pearlman, Eric Hill (notes)

UPDATES:
Treasurer Report:
Most LA money has come in—all but two students are paid in full. Overall spending is in line with budget. It may be time to start on 2018-19 budget.

Mattress Sale: $3200 proceeds on 26 mattresses. 13 walk-ins, 13 referrals. $2500 was budgeted. We do not yet know how much will be earmarked for students. Jen will figure it who has what credit.

Going forward, we should consider budgeting LA trip as separate line items on income and expenses. Will also should figure out a way to do a two-year budgeting cycle for the trip.

~770 sold of 1500 available. Gym fits 1700. May not choose to take tickets. Cindy will send Jen the password to the ticket list. Advert was in eNews again today. Monica Harding will do concessions. Cindy will check in with her on status.
